In
what they termed "another nauseating series of Virtual Learning
Center brainwashing courses that Border Patrol agents are forced to
sit behind a computer for hours and endure," officials at the Border
Patrol union reported their members are taught in an "Active Shooter"
course that if agents encounter a shooter in a public place they are
to "run away" and "hide."

But
on Saturday, while visiting Texas, Homeland Security Secretary Janet
Napolitano had a different message, according to a government report.

"If
we are cornered by such a shooter we are to (only as a last resort)
become 'aggressive' and 'throw things' at him or her. We are then advised
to 'call [local] law enforcement' and wait for their arrival, presumably,
while more innocent victims are slaughtered," states the Arizona
(Local 2544) Border Patrol web site.

"These
types of mandatory brainwashing courses and the idiocy that accompanies
them are simply stunning when they are force-fed to law enforcement
officers," state NBPC Local
2544 officials.

"On
the one hand, the Obama administration opposes local law enforcement
officers being involved in immigration enforcement, and on the other
hand the Border
Patrol agents are taught to call the local cops when faced with
violence being perpetrated by illegal aliens at U.S. borders,"
said former NYPD police sergeant James McMahon, now a security consultant
and private investigator.

"Are
the lunatics now running the asylum? It's the most asinine instruction
I've heard since [President Bill] Clinton issued an executive order
to CIA agents prohibiting them from using 'unsavory characters' as informants
back in the 1990's," McMahon told NewsWithViews.com.

“It
is always comforting to know that for those of us who carry a weapon
when we are off-duty, if we should encounter such a situation, stop
a shooter and save countless lives, we can look forward to being disciplined
or fired by the Border Patrol because we should have run away to hide
and then maybe thrown objects at the deranged killer instead of taking
action and stopping him with a firearm,” the Local
2544 web site states.

Meanwhile,
on the heels of giving over 800,000
illegal aliens non-deportation privileges, the three top Obama immigration
enforcement officials visited one of the nation's Southwest border states
on Saturday in what was described as a 'dog and pony show' by several
law enforcement officers.

Secretary
Janet Napolitano, Immigration
and Customs Enforcement (ICE) Director John Morton and U.S. Customs
and Border Protection (U.S. Border Patrol) Acting Commissioner David
V. Aguilar arrived in Dallas, TX, on Saturday to participate in the
Annual National
Latino Peace Officers Association’s (NLPOA) Training Conference,
according to a press statement.

Secretary
Napolitano told conference participants that her Department is committed
to working with federal, state, local, tribal and territorial law enforcement
to combat evolving threats and protect our nation’s communities.

"However,
Napolitano made no mention of her nor President Barack Obama's punitive
actions against the law enforcement community in Texas' neighbor, Arizona.

Without
hesitation, she stripped Arizona law enforcement officials of their
authority to participate in combating illegal immigration through ICE's
287g program, which enables local police officers and sheriff's
deputies to enforce immigration law in cooperation with federal law
enforcement," said former NYPD police detective Iris Aquino, a
former member of NLPOA.

In
fact, there's talk within the nation's capital of ending 287g altogether,
according to members of the news
media.

"This
administration is not serious about illegal immigration, drug enforcement
or homeland security. It's just one 'dog and pony show' after another.
Napolitano's visit to Texas was just more pandering and empty promises
to the Latino voters," said Aquino, herself a Latino law enforcement
veteran.

What
surprised many observers was when during the conference Secretary Napolitano
and ICE Director Morton presented the NLPOA
Officer of the Year Award posthumously to the family of ICE Special
Agent Jaime Zapata. The ICE agent was assassinated in Mexico by members
of Los Zetas drug cartel with at least one of the weapons allegedly
linked to the Operation Fast and Furious debacle, although Napolitano
and Morton made no mention of the gun-walking scandal.

"I
noticed that Napolitano and Aguilar never mentioned Border Patrol Agent
Brian Terry, who was murdered by a Mexican illegal alien using a Fast
and Furious gun," said police lieutenant Stephen Ritter of the
New York State Division of Housing Public Safety Department.

"These
political people have no shame... no shame whatsoever," Ritter
added.

"On the one
hand, the Obama administration opposes local law enforcement officers
being involved in immigration enforcement, and on the other hand the Border
Patrol agents are taught to call the local cops when faced with violence
being perpetrated by illegal aliens at U.S. borders,"
